2018 HIGHLIGHTS

HGS

Large volume of remodeling orders for

greener ships Hyundai Global Service 

(HGS) signed an agreement to install by 

2020 exhaust gas cleaning systems (EGCS), 

often referred to as scrubbers, on a total of 

16 ships owned by SK Shipping, including a 

300,000-ton VLCC (very large crude carrier) 

and an 80,000m3 LPG carrier. In 2018, 

Hyundai Global Service installed scrubbers 

on 105 vessels, posting a cumulative third-

quarter sales record of USD 390 million. Due 

to tightening environmental regulations 

by the International Maritime Organization 

(IMO), the demand for onboard eco-friendly 

facility installation is expected to continue to 

grow in the future.

Establishment of a smart factory for industrial robots  Hyundai Heavy Industries Holdings 

(HHI Holdings) signed an agreement with Chinese robot maker Jiangsu Hagong Intelligent 

Robot (HGZN) on the establishment of a joint venture that manufactures and sells industrial 

robots and provides after-sales service. The goal is to establish a smart factory by the end 

of 2019 producing four types of industrial robots, aiming at manufacturing and selling a 

cumulative total of 17,000 units by 2022.

Inroads into medical big data business  HHI Holdings signed an agreement with Kakao 

Investment and Asan Medical Center to establish a company specialized in medical big data.

goal of selling 6,000 units of small and large robots by 2021.

Hyundai Oilbank

Pre-IPO investment agreement with

Saudi Aramco Hyundai Oilbank signed a 

pre-IPO investment agreement with Saudi 

Arabia’s state-owned oil giant Aramco, worth 

up to KRW 1.8 trillion. Responsible for 15% 

of the crude oil being produced globally, 

Aramco was attracted to the impressive 

growth potential of Hyundai Oilbank as 

demonstrated by its notable advancement 

ratio (40.6%) and profitability, both of which

World’s first SMR Pilot plant for LNG carriers  Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) completed a 

single mixed refrigerant (SMR) pilot plant that re-liquefies vaporized gas from LNG carriers and 

received its safety approval from Korea Gas Safety Corporation. The SMR system is capable of 

re-liquefying 100% of the evaporative gas generated from LNG tankers, and four LNG carriers 

requested by Greek and Russian shipping companies to be built will be the first set of vessels 

that this technology will go into.

ESS Center to reduce energy costs  HHI established the world’s largest-scale industrial 

energy storage system (ESS) center at its headquarters in Ulsan. Its 51.5MW capacity is 

approximately 20% of the Korean government’s target (270MW per hour) for ESS expansion 

in 2017. It saved HHI as much as KRW 10 billion in energy costs over the past year by 

reducing peak power consumption and increasing energy efficiency.

HHI-Scrubber for ships  HHI developed a proprietary scrubber system (HHI-Scrubber) that 

meets the requirement under IMO’s regulations. Thanks to its all-in-one design, HHI-Scrubber 

requires 30% smaller in size than the other models, while equivalent in performance. With its 

easy installation and excellent space utilization, the goal going forward is to win orders for 

more than 50 units each year, focusing on both the new shipbuilding and retrofit market.

Contract to supply electricity equipment to Kuwait substation  Hyundai Electric & Energy 

Systems (Hyundai Electric) signed a contract with Al-Ahleia, an EPC company of Kuwait, to 

supply equipment worth KRW 38.5 billion. Under this contract, Hyundai Electric is scheduled to 

supply gas insulated switchgears (GIS) and shunt reactors by December 2019 to be installed 

at the substation of the Public Authority for Housing Welfare of Kuwait. 

First Korean electric equipment company to open Reliability Assessment Center  

Hyundai Electric became the first Korean electric equipment company to establish a reliability 

assessment center to research, improve and evaluate the quality of products. It is expected 

that the center will help expedite the product development process by conducting in-depth 

research on product durability, environmental resistance and stability, while also contributing 

to reducing the cost of testing via external agencies.

Agreement on a new renewable project  Hyundai Electric signed an agreement with the 

city of Yeoju city to construct a KRW 20 billion photovoltaic power generation facility on unused 

land. A 6.5MW solar photovoltaic panel and a 20.5MWh energy storage system will be embedded 

in the bike path and nearby Namhan-gang river in Yeoju under this agreement. Some of the 

profits will be invested in fostering of talents in the new and renewable energy field.

Korea’s first electric excavator  Hyundai Construction Equipment (HCE), in conjunction with 

US engine maker Cummins, developed Korea’s first excavator that is 100% electrically powered, 

3.5-ton compact model. While equivalent in performance to conventional excavators powered 

by diesel engines, electric excavators are emission-free. They also have a much lower noise level 

and are eco-friendly, cutting fuel costs by up to 60%. HCE’s endeavors to proactively adapt to the 

changing market environment and cater to the needs of different customers will continue, which 

include increasing R&D for intelligent excavators.

Donations for flood-hit India  HCE joined the international relief efforts for India’s southern 

state of Kerala which was hit by the worst flooding in nearly a century, donating construction 

equipment (10 mid-sized excavators) and funds in the amount of KRW 50 million. The 

excavators were of great help in damage repairing, mainly used to demolish buildings that 

collapsed in the flood and restore the road network. HCE will continue to provide relief to 

areas affected by natural disasters.

Opening of Technology Training Center  For systemic nurturing of professional technicians, 

HCE opened its Technology Training Center. The center is equipped with a parts exhibition 

room, meeting rooms and training rooms where a total of 20 training courses are available. 

It is expected to do much to improve quality in various fields, offering professional trainings 

on standard assembly methods of equipment and prevention of leakage and other frequently 

occurring types of accidents. 

Two ships selected as RINA’s ‘Significant Ships 2018’  Two of Hyundai Mipo Dockyard’s 

(HMD) vessels (31K RO-PAX ship and 7.5K LNG bunkering vessel) made the list of the Royal 

Institution of Naval Architects’ (RINA) Significant Ships 2018. With this, HMD was officially 

recognized for 18 consecutive years for its excellence in quality. The RO-PAX ship is equipped 

with various safety facilities, such as a navigation satellite system and an automatic fire alarm. 

The LNG bunkering vessel adopted for the first time in the world the eco-friendly ‘ballast free’ 

technology which removes the need for ballast water treatment systems while still ensuring 

safe navigation, drawing attention from the global shipbuilding and shipping industries. 

A milestone of 1,000 new ships built  In a matter of 20 years since entering the newbuilding 

business, HMD has built a total of 1,000 ships for 182 owners in 39 countries around the world. 

The aggregate volume of ships delivered by HMD amounts to 17.35 million compensated gross 

tonnage (CGT), or about 75% of the world’s total order volume of 23.22 million CGT in 2018. 

HMD will continue its innovative efforts to contribute to Korea’s economic growth.

Winner of Ulsan City Industrial Peace Award 2018  HMD is proud of its win-win labor-

management relations, as evident in having zero disputes over the past 22 years. In 

recognition of its exemplary labor relations amidst of severe difficulties faced by shipbuilders, 

the Ulsan Chamber of Commerce and Industry granted HMD the Industrial Peace Award 2018. 

HMD’s labor and management will make united efforts to navigate these times of uncertainty 

to solidify transparent management and take a bold leap forward.

Greeting from Group Vice Chairmanas a global technology leader in their respective areas of expertise, and the group will spare no effort to 

provide support along the way.

To that end, we have three clear visions: a respected corporation with advanced technologies and 

high-quality products, a trusted corporation with fair and transparent management and an admired 

corporation with social contributions. 

In doing so, HHI Group aims to solidify its position as a cutting-edge technology group and we are 

scheduled to break ground in the second half of this year to build a global R&D center to serve as the 

group’s key driver and mechanism for growth. Also, our endeavors for sustainable growth in economic, 

environmental and social terms will not cease. 

HHI Group has been assessing and mitigating environmental risks at its main business establishments 

for integrated environmental management, while continuing the investments to minimize negative 

environmental impacts, including reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. By developing core eco-

friendly technologies, the group is also leading the market for green products that satisfy increasingly 

tightening international environmental regulations, such as IMO’s regulations on air pollution and sulfur 

dioxide emissions.

We also believe safety is a top priority that cannot be compromised. Each entity has a safety 

management control tower under immediate supervision of the CEO, regularly convening the Industrial 

Safety and Health Committee with representatives of labor and management. Across all entities within 

the group, safety culture is in place that conforms to the basics and principles of safety, implementing a 

reward system for exemplary practices, setting the ‘must’ safety rules and operating a safety academy.

We will continue our activities for local community development and social contribution. Going forward, 

as a leader in corporate social responsibility, we plan to set up a group-level social contribution council 

and volunteer organization for our personnel, to enable systematic voluntary and contribution activities 

for our society and local communities. 

Lastly, we are bolstering ethics and compliance management to nurture a transparent and sound 

corporate culture. We have revised the Fair Trade Compliance Program according to the trend of 

reinforced regulations related to fair trade and expanded on-site inspections to enhance preemptive 

response. In order to establish an ethical corporate culture, we have a reporting and reward system 

in operation, while also listening to the voice of our partner companies as well as our own employees 

working on various sites to diagnose and improve the level of ethical management.

Each and every one of us at HHI Group remains steadfastly committed to bold innovation to add further 

value for stakeholders to unlock a brighter future for all. We appreciate you joining us as we continue to 

strive to achieve such great missions.

Thank you.

Dear stakeholders,

I would like to extend my deepest gratitude for your continued support and 

interest in our group.

Last year, HHI Group experienced monumental changes that entailed a new management environment.

The year 2018 witnessed our group’s reorganization into a holding structure, which involved HSHI’s split and 

merger and HMD’s sale of its entire HHI shares in order to eliminate a web of circular shareholdings between 

companies in our group. Going forward, each entity will focus on their own areas of business and pursue an 

active dividend policy to ensure a greater shareholder value.

In 2019, Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering (KSOE) will be launched as a sub-holding company 

controlling the group’s shipyards, KSOE will present mid- and long-term development directions and 

growth strategies of our shipbuilding and marine businesses as a company specializing in R&D and 

engineering, taking our technological competitiveness to the next level.

With HHI Holdings leading the efforts to discover future business opportunities and reorganize the 

group’s existing business portfolio, we count on each entity in our group to establish more independent 

and responsible management practices under a professional management system to continue to evolve

CEO Message

Looking back on 2018, I am proud to say at HHI Holdings, 

we made our utmost efforts to maximize the competencies 

and values of each of our business divisions spun off in April 

2017. It was truly an eventful year, a year that will go down in 

the company’s history as the foundation for the next phase 

of growth, which involved an organizational overhaul. These 

efforts are evident in our performance for the year–a combined 

revenue of KRW 22.4962 trillion in 2018, with our Oil Refining 

business responsible for KRW 21.5036 trillion, Robotics for KRW 

579.3 billion and Services for KRW 413.3 billion.

With a Heavy Feed Petrochemical Complex (HPC) being 

successfully constructed, our Oil Refining division is now poised 

to turn into a comprehensive oil refining and petrochemical 

company. Our Robotics division has secured a new growth driver 

by teaming up with leading players and establishing a joint 

venture robot production factory in China while the Services 

business has relentlessly worked on business advancement and 

development of convergence service models based on digital 

innovation to provide comprehensive service offerings. 

In 2019, our commitment will remain solid across all business 

divisions to the shared goals of sharpening technological 

competencies, expanding global business networks, developing 

new business opportunities, and enhancing services as a 

competitive advantage. Please continue on this exciting and 

rewarding journey with us.

KwonOh-gap, Vice Chairman & CEO

Business Overview While actively carrying out investment activities as the holding company,  

HHI Holdings is also engaged in the businesses of robotics, production and 

distribution of petroleum products, and marine services for the shipbuilding and

Our Robotics division is engaged in manufacturing and selling industrial robots 

and clean robots. Mainly used in manufacturing industries including automotive, 

electrical/electronics, and chemical, our industrial robots work on various 

automation lines from manufacturing through shipment. Our clean robots are ideal 

for handling delicate LCD panels and semiconductor wafers. Having entered the 

clean robot sector in 2006, we succeeded in proprietarily developing clean robots 

in 2008, mainly supplied to display panel manufacturers. Our most recent activities 

include constructing smart factories using our robotic technologies for high-tech 

industries. By combining our 35 years of experience and knowledge in robotic 

automation with next-generation technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and 

the Internet of Things (IoT) including big data analytics, we are offering the finest 

smart factory solutions to our customers.     

OilRefining

Hyundai Oilbank, a subsidiary of HHI Holdings, is engaged in the refining crude 

oil and producing and selling petroleum products. Capable of processing 650,000 

barrels of crude oil per day, Hyundai Oilbank claimed a share of 21.6% in the 

domestic market for light crude oil (gasoline, diesel, kerosene, etc.) in 2018 according 

to Korea National Oil Corporation’s official statistics. We are diversifying Hyundai 

Oilbank’s portfolio through vertical integration of the refinery and petrochemical 

businesses, in a way that creates synergies across different areas. Its subsidiaries 

have competitive advantages in their respective sub-sectors. Hyundai Chemical and 

Hyundai Cosmo produce BTX (mixtures of benzene, toluene, and xylene) such as 

mixed xylene (MX) and para-xylene (PX) while Hyundai-shell Base Oil produces lube 

base oil and Hyundai OCI Carbon manufactures carbon black. Hyundai Oil Terminal is 

engaged in the oil terminal business. As such, while enhancing the overall efficiency 

of the existing refinery business, we have also laid a stable foundation for continued 

business growth. 

Services

Hyundai Global Service, a subsidiary of HHI Holdings, offers various free and paid 

services tailored to the needs of shipbuilding and power generation sites. Its main

Growth Strategy

Our Robotics division posted annual sales revenue of KRW 266.7 billion, shipping 

4,200 robots for industrial use. The total revenue stood at KRW 579.3 billion (stand-

alone basis), which includes dividend income received as the holding company.

China’s robot market, which accounts for about 40% of the global demands, 

continues to grow. Against this backdrop, LCD and OLED industries are expected 

to invest more in clean robots. As for the Korean market, on the other hand, a 

slump in the auto industry and oversupply in the display market are expected to 

combine to drive down such investments. That said, a sharp increase in the interest 

and demand for robot-based automation systems is expected in the wake of the 

recently introduced 52-hour workweek and minimum wage increase in Korea. 

Considering all this, for 2019, HHI Holdings has set its Robotics division’s targets for 

orders and sales at USD 400 million and KRW 360 billion, respectively, with a goal to 

achieve total revenue of KRW 660 billion inclusive of dividend income.

Improving the competitiveness of our flagship products while expanding our lineups 

for various industries and developing new products, we will actively respond to 

the rapidly-growing Chinese robot market. Also, taking a step further from selling 

individual robots, we will advance into the smart factory market which encompasses

2018 Business Performance

2019 Outlook and Targets

In 2018, Hyundai Oilbank recorded KRW 21.5036 trillion in sales. Operating profit was 

at KRW 661 billion, a decrease from the previous year due to losses on write-down 

of inventory affected by the plunge in oil prices in the fourth quarter. Despite that, 

we continue to boast an operating margin that is larger than that of any peer in the 

oil refining sector, thanks to the diversification of our crude oil varieties that now 

include extra-heavy oil, which makes much economic sense, and enhanced process 

efficiency through energy savings. Hyundai Oilbank also achieved an advancement 

ratio* of 40.6%, which is the largest level in the industry, by newly establishing a 

Solvent De-Asphalting (SDA) process and expanding the existing Delayed Cocker 

Unit (DCU) process thereby securing a stable profit model.

* Advancement ratio: The ratio of the advanced processing capacity to the conventional 

refining capacity. The higher the ratio, the more capable a refinery is to produce large 

amounts of profitable products such as gasoline, out of low-cost heavy oil.

Globally, the year 2019 is set to see an expansion of refining facilities that will 

translate into an additional capacity of 1.4 million barrels per day in aggregate. 

Also, the IMO regulations on limiting sulphur content of bunker fuel to a maximum 

of 0.5%, scheduled to enter into force from January 2020, is expected to drive up 

demand for low sulfur diesel and bunker oil in the second half of 2019, which will 

positively impact our performance. At Hyundai Oilbank, unwavering efforts to 

enhance profitability are underway, which include improving productivity through 

reduced energy consumption and streamlined processes and enhancing sales 

competitiveness through diversified overseas sales outlets and upgraded quality. 

Also planned for 2019 is the construction of an MX plant with an annual capacity of 

200,000 tons for Hyundai Chemical and a carbon black plant with an annual capacity

2018 Business Performance

2019 Outlook and Targets

Since before the spin-off in December 2016 into Hyundai Global Service as a 

separate company, this division has seen a continued increase in annual revenue, 

recording around KRW 100 billion in 2016, KRW 238.2 billion in 2017 and KRW 413.3 

billion in 2018. Hyundai Global Service posted an operating margin of approximately 

18.5% in 2018, ensuring a stable revenue base, and is expected to see continued 

improvement of profitability in the future. In particular, we are receiving a growing 

amount of orders for installation/refurbishment of gas scrubbers and ballast water 

treatment systems (BWTS)* due to a widening price gap between high sulfur fuel 

oil and low sulfur oil. In 2018, we secured an aggregate order amount of USD 440 

million for eco-friendly construction projects.

* Ballast Water Treatment Systems (BWTS): Facilities designed to remove and destroy biological 

organisms contained in the ballast water held in tanks and cargo holds of ships to increase 

stability and maneuverability during transit.

The global ship maintenance market is expected to steadily grow at an annual rate 

of about KRW 20 trillion, and the eco-friendly refurbishment market is expected to 

reach up to KRW 10 trillion a year. For 2019, we have set an order target of USD 

940 million and a revenue target of KRW 823.9 billion. With a view to achieving an 

annual revenue of KRW 2 trillion or over by 2022, our efforts will be focused on 

making continuous investments, expanding human resources, and securing new

HHI Business Overview

2018 Business Performance

Shipbuilding

With over 40 years of experience and know-how in building ships, diverse product 

lines, and strong business relationships with world-class shipping companies, 

we have long maintained a reputation as an unparalleled leader in this industry. 

Not only do we boast advanced technologies in the fields of eco-friendly ships 

and smart ships, but we also have secured price competitiveness by integrating 

the function of sales and purchasing across all three shipbuilders (HHI, HMD and 

Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries).

Engines

We manufacture large/mid-sized engines for ships and mid-sized engines for 

power generation, with a share of 36% in the global market for large engines and 

28% for mid-sized engines, which combine to place us in first place in global market 

dominance. We are the only Korean engine maker with its own original technology 

to manufacture mid-sized engines, and plan to expand our eco-friendly equipment 

business such as gas engines, in active response to IMO’s tightened environmental 

regulations. 

Offshore

In a seamless process, we design, purchase, manufacture, transport, install and test-

run marine facilities used for developing and producing offshore oil fields. Equipped 

with the best production facilities and technologies, including a 10,000-ton floating 

crane and a 1 million-ton construction dock, we have successfully completed to 

date some 170 construction projects around the world.

HHI secured orders for a total of 163 ships (approx. USD 14 billion, consolidated 

basis) in 2018, and 313 ships were either on order or under construction (approx. 

USD 26 billion) as of the year-end, a volume large enough to keep us busy for 

over two years. Our low debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio and sound overall financial 

structure, single mixed refrigerant (SMR) LNG re-liquefaction testing facility having 

been successfully built, and improved price competitiveness thanks to a solid 

management improvement plan, etc. have all combined to set us further apart from 

our competitors in winning shipbuilding orders. As a result, for the two consecutive 

years from 2017 to 2018, we were ranked first place in terms of dominance in the 

global market for LNG carriers where order volumes are on a steep rise, claiming a 

share of about 40% each year. This has once again demonstrated our excellence in 

technology and competitiveness in the market for high value-added vessels.

CEO Message

The year 2018 witnessed a variety of efforts at HHI to enhance business competencies. We designed and implemented 

a new organizational structure to strengthen our position in the market for special-purpose ships and eco-friendly 

equipment. We also commenced on the construction of our first next-generation smart ship in preparation for the 

Fourth Industrial Revolution era while taking a first step towards a smart yard environment by constructing a smart 

factory with key ICT technologies. 

Although the global shipbuilding market still has a long way to go before full recovery, we successfully met our annual 

order targets. We are particularly proud of how our technological excellence helped us maintain our competitive 

edge in the market for high value-added ships and secure orders for a total of 12 LNG carriers in 2018, an area where 

demand is showing signs of recovery.  

In this promising year of 2019, under the motto of “Rise Again to Reclaim the Title of World’s No. 1” we will make 

vigorous efforts for a safe workplace, cost-cutting innovation, enhanced technology and quality, and a corporate climate 

of understanding and harmony. Thank you for your trust and confidence in HHI.

2019 Outlook and Targets The number of orders for LNG carriers is expected to be on a steady rise thanks to 

the increasing global demand for LNG, particularly from emerging industrial countries 

such as India and China, while the replacement demand for container carriers and 

crude oil carriers will likely accelerate due to the tightening IMO environmental 

regulations such as sulfur oxides (SOx) emissions control. For 2019, we have set an 

order target of USD 19.6 billion (consolidated basis), up about 20% from the previous 

year’s performance, encouraged by our distinctive competitiveness in technology 

and sales competencies in the market for environmentally friendly ships such as LNG 

carriers. Our sales, which had been on the decline until 2018, is expected to turn 

around to an upward spiral from 2019 driven by the recovery in the volume of orders 

received from 2017. HHI’s sales target for 2019 is set at KRW 15 trillion (consolidated 

basis), a 13% increase from the previous year.

include energy storage systems (ESS), building energy management systems (BEMS), 

factory energy management systems (FEMS), and microgrid solutions.

The year 2018 saw a continued slump in orders on global basis, especially due 

to the delayed recovery of infrastructure investments in the Middle East. Against 

this backdrop, the results we posted in 2018 were not exactly glowing-on a 

consolidated basis, our sales revenue recorded KRW 1.9404 trillion and the total 

order receipts amounted to USD 1.718 billion. That said, such deeply disappointing 

market conditions did not stop us from making proactive investments to sharpen 

our competitiveness in the run-up to a full recovery of the market, which included 

opening our Reliability Assessment Center and building a smart factory environment 

for our transformer plant. We also focused on cost structure improvement, which 

included optimizing manpower and accounting for impairment of assets to help 

return our performance as quickly as possible to a positive growth path.

electronic Systems Division, we have consistently taken the lead 

in driving the nation’s technological advancement, successfully 

completing numerous projects at home and abroad over  

the past 40 years.

In 2018, Hyundai Electric’s efforts were particularly focused 

towards providing the best products, solutions and service 

offerings that can boost productivity and efficiency of our 

customers’ businesses, which included expanding our Hungary 

Technologies Center (H-TEC) and opening our reliability 

assessment center. Much to our regret, however, the year did not 

live up to our expectations or those of our stakeholders from a 

financial performance perspective.    

Looking to turn the tide as quickly as possible and to lay the 

foundation for a quantum leap forward, we will place great 

stress on increasing customer satisfaction through quality 

innovation, improving product competitiveness, enhancing sales 

competencies and exploring new markets, and creating a safe

HMD Business Overview

2018 Business Performance

HMD repaired and refurbished around 8,500 ships for 20 years since its founding in 

1975. It entered the newbuilding industry in the mid-1990s and has since delivered 

more than 1,000 vessels, snatching the largest market share in the global mid-sized  

shipbuilding field. The company headquarters is located in Ulsan covering a  

1 million square meter area, and there are four plants (Yongyeon, Onsan, Mohwa 

and Daebul) where it builds premium quality ships that meet client expectations 

and needs, based on various state-of-the-art automated facilities, including three 

400,000-ton docks, one 350,000-ton docks, a 2.9-kilometer quay, and 20 jib cranes. 

Product&ChemicalTankers

A product & chemical tanker (PC tanker) is a vessel designed to transport various 

oil products, bio oil, and liquid chemicals. Having a similar structure to oil tankers, 

PC tankers have a series of separate cargo tanks coated with specialized coatings 

and are connected to complicated piping, allowing the vessel to load and transport 

various types of liquid products with safety hazards at the same time. 

Containerships

The small- and mid-sized containerships HMD builds are known for the best fuel 

efficiency, high quality and low maintenance cost. In particular, the linear designs 

and layouts are optimized, and have highly been acclaimed by clients. 

GasCarriers

In addition to various gas carriers for LPG, LEG and LNG transport, we build LNG 

bunkering vessels that can refuel LNG at sea.

Although our sales had been in decline against the backdrop of the decreasing

CEO Message

There is a growing level of business uncertainty as the US-China  

trade war, a fragile Europe, and concerns over a potential 

economic crisis in emerging economies are combining to slow 

down the expansion of global economic growth. 

In an effort to navigate such uncertainty in the business 

environment, our business planning for the year 2019 is focused 

on creating new business value and solidifying the basis of future 

growth.

HMD’s business plan lays out our shipbuilding goal of 60 units (in 

terms of keel laying) or 58 units (in terms of delivery) in 2019, up 

by 14 and 17 from our 2018 performance, respectively. We have 

also set our annual sales target at KRW 3 trillion which represents 

a 25% increase year on year. This effort will enable us not only to 

improve the current business operations but also to drive future 

growth and take a bold leap forward. 

Guided by the motto for 2019, “A Leap Beyond Limits,” we will 

work towards our solid management direction: adhering to our  

 “Safety First” principle, reinforcing competitiveness in terms of 

quality and technology, identifying future growth engines, and 

promoting a culture of mutual trust and cooperation. 

Please join with us as we continue moving forward.

2019 Outlook and Targets The volume of global newbuilding orders dropped to the lowest level in 2016 and 

started rebounding in 2017. We expect the current favorable trend to continue 

in 2019, with potential new orders from customers to replace their existing ships 

to meet increasingly stringent environmental regulations. We have set our order 

target this year at USD 3.5 billion, a 17% increase year on year. Sales are expected to 

reach KRW 3 trillion, up 27% from the previous year, thanks to the increasing trend 

of orders since 2017.

Growth Strategy We aim to achieve KRW 4.5 trillion in sales and 10% in operating margin by 2021 

based on three growth strategies: maintaining competitiveness in flagship models; 

increasing the market share of strategic models; and reinforcing capabilities for 

sustainable growth.

Oil-circulating DGA equipment applicable to power transformers and oil-immersed distribution transformers has been 

developed. To check a transformer’s operational status, DGA equipment constantly measures the concentration of 

dissolved gas in the insulating oil and performing online monitoring. A DGA device consists of a gas extractor that 

circulates the insulating oil inside a transformer for deaeration at constant temperature and a gas gauge equipped with 

hydrogen, carbon monoxide/dioxide and acetylene measuring sensors. With a DGA product lineup in place based on 

diversified types of measurable gas and methods of gas capturing, Hyundai Electric is expecting increased sales in the 

transformer preventive diagnostic market.

HCE

RemoteEngineDiagnosticService

In conjunction with Cummins Inc., the world’s leading diesel engine maker, HCE is working on the development of a 

remote engine diagnostic service, aiming to roll out a new model named Stage V and launch the official service in 2019. 

Stage V, deploying HCE’s remote management system Hi-MATE, sends on a real-time basis the engine error codes and 

operation data to Cummins’ server. Once a troubleshooting report containing the causes of error and recommended 

solutions is sent out from the server, on-site repair service for failed equipment is immediately carried out. This way, 

repair service efficiency and operational efficiency of clients’ equipment are expected to go up. 

AutonomousForklift

HCE developed an autonomous forklift, hosting a successful demonstration event attended by representatives of leading 

logistics companies. The two units of the test equipment built based on 16BRJ-9, one of the company’s current electric 

reach truck models, demonstrated the new technology’s full capability to handle double stacking tasks, in conjunction with 

each other. Because this newly developed self-driving system, using a laser distance measuring sensor, can perceive the 

surroundings of the vehicle and locate objects, there is no need for floor markings or change of working location, enabling 

the forklift to flexibly adapt to changes in the working environment. HCE will continue to develop related technologies and 

improve the competitive edge of its products to boost sales.

IntegratedControlSystemforExcavatorsofAllOptions

HCE developed its own system for integrated control of optimum oil pressure applicable for small, medium- and large-

sized excavators. Until now, different controllers were installed for different options and types of equipment. This single 

integrated control system boasts reduced costs and enhanced maintenance convenience of both hardware and software. 

Also, this integrated controller uses hardware that meets technological standards and features safety functions, improving 

product reliability. The new system has laid the foundation for developing excavators with various options that cater to 

the needs of different clients, helping strengthen HCE’s product competitiveness and increase sales.

Super-sizedExcavator(HX900L)

HCE’s 90-ton class crawler-excavator HX900L meets Tier 4 Final, the fourth stage of emissions standards set by the U.S. 

EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). It is the largest of HCE’s HX series excavators, having adopted a new exterior 

design and cabins with improved driver experience, and aimed at forming successful inroads into the coal mining 

markets in North America, Europe and Korea. Compared to the previous series, this newest model boosts greatly 

improved truck loading capacity, while consuming a similar amount of fuel per day, contributing to an increase in the 

customers’ total cost of ownership (TCO). From an early stage of the development, HX900L has been used in cement 

mines in Korea to verify durability and performance, with customers’ feedback reflected in finalizing the product.

Major Activities and

Achievements

Performance Indicator

HHI Group operates a safety management organization that directly reports to 

the CEO. In addition, the Occupational Safety and Health Committee (OSHC), which 

consists of 5 to 10 members both from the management and the labor union, 

convenes regularly to discuss the safety issues in all worksites and ensures the 

participation of representatives of workers in worksite environment measurements 

and safety event investigations. Safety and health issues covered by the Committee 

are reported to the CEO. For effective safety management, relevant managers are 

designated in each business division and partner. Safety meetings attended by the 

Company, representatives from partners and employees are held regularly as well.

OperationofHiSEs

HHI, HCE and Hyundai Electric created a database covering a comprehensive range 

from accident cases to safety training through the HiSEs (Hyundai Integrated 

Health, Safety and Environment Management System). Employees can log on to the 

database on site using their computer at work, internet or mobile phones, and check 

the status of risky work in real time. Meanwhile, HMD operates the MIPOSS (MIPO 

Safety System), which utilizes big data on the safety management of shipbuilding 

yards. The system offers a checklist for safety and health, and allows the Line Safety 

Controller (LSC) to share and provide feedback on risk factors identified on site 

through computers or mobile phones in real time. 

EnhancingOn-siteInspection

All levels of management from the CEO to the first-level supervisor frequently 

conduct on-site safety inspections to eradicate risk factors. Responsible safety 

management for all individuals is encouraged in order to prevent serious accidents. 

In addition, safety inspections are carried out for every production process to 

identify risk factors, which are improved immediately upon detection. A total of 11 

items with high potential for accidents are subject to regular inspection on a bi-

monthly basis and intensive supervision. 

SpotRewardsforBestSafetyPractices

Workers with excellent safety performance are rewarded on the spot in order to 

build a culture where employees encourage and inspire each other to improve 

safety. Immediate incentives and positive feedback are provided to motivate 

employees to engage in on-site safety practices.

SafetyGoldenRulesandSafetyAcademy

HHI Group established a must set of safety rules titled Safety Golden Rules for 

dangerous work that requires strict discipline, aiming to foster a safety culture 

and improve safety awareness. Violators of the rules are enrolled in a two-day 

program in the Safety Academy to prevent recurrence. In line with the Employee

HHI Group requires business partners to appoint a safety manager in order to help 

them build expertise for safety management and strengthen their autonomous 

safety management system. We provide incentives during the grace period for 

the autonomous system to be developed, in order to ensure smooth transition. 

In addition, we created an organization dedicated to supporting the safety 

management of in-house partner companies to provide job-specific training.

safety procedures for each job duty both in theory and practice. The Center plans to offer a total of 58 curriculum 

programs that include compulsory courses as well as leadership sessions. 

Hyundai Electric

SafetyDialogueSession

Safety dialogue sessions are held twice a year for production departments which are consistently exposed to highly risky 

work. The shortage of signal personnel for getting on/off forklifts and for direct delivery were among 25 items identified 

to have significant potential risk. Each item was properly dealt with: more personnel were secured for signalling jobs and 

training was provided, contributing to raising safety awareness. 

RiskAssessmentTraining

Risk assessment training was provided to supervisors and workers to help them preliminarily assess the seriousness and 

eliminability of risk factors and harmful substances. The training program helped enhance the employees’ knowledge on 

risk assessment and bolstered their capabilities for autonomous safety management, creating a voluntary safety culture.

HCE

RiskAssessmentwithActiveParticipationofWorkers

In 2018, HCE started risk assessment dialogues that require the participation of every worker, aiming to identify risk 

factors and develop solutions for improvement through the eyes of workers. Activities of each production team are 

evaluated on a quarterly basis to reward the team with excellent outcomes. HCE plans to select specific dialogue topics 

to help workers prioritize risk factors that need to be resolved for each work situation, aiming to improve their risk 

assessment abilities.

SafetyCampaigns

HCE holds the Safety Time Capsule event at the beginning of each year, in which all employees participate to seal 

their individual safety pledge to a time capsule to be opened at the end of each year, as a way to renew their safety 

commitment while reflecting on the achievement of organizational safety targets. The company has various other 

campaigns to raise safety awareness among employees, such as zero-accident pledge and spot award for excellent 

safety practices. 

HMD

HumanErrorPreventionThroughBehavioralChanges

For human error prevention, HMD is shifting the focus of its safety inspections from status checks to behavior checks, 

thereby inducing workers to change their behavior. In 2019, the company plans to lift safety awareness through various 

programs, including virtual reality-based safety training. In addition, all employees in the production division are required to 

submit their safety pledge as part of the company’s safety campaigns for raising awareness and fostering a sense of safety.

improve competitiveness, as well as to foster an ownership mentality in employees. 

Under the collective bargaining agreement, each company is obliged to inform the 

labor union of major management changes with different deadlines by case. For 

example, HHI is required to notify the union members of changes to their working 

conditions at least 40 days before the changes take effect. HMD has the duty to give 

a 60-day notice to the union members about important changes such as business 

suspension or shutdown, spin-off/merger, and factory relocation. In 2019, HHI Group 

plans to increase the number of briefings to share the current management status 

with employees more frequently and strengthen their commitment to achieving 

business goals.  

DialoguewiththeManagement

HHI Group organizes meetings between employees and executives to establish 

a healthy corporate culture through effective internal communication. Business 

representatives, chiefs of the headquarters and heads of divisions participate in the 

meetings to explain corporate policies and direction, while employees are given the 

opportunity to suggest ideas for further development of the company. 

MonthlyTeam-BuildingMeetings

In order to improve the working environment and welfare, department heads and 

managers hold monthly meetings with team members. Regular communication 

helps enhance job satisfaction by resolving employees’ concerns and grievances 

and build a culture of trust.

News.’ HHI Holdings publishes a monthly newsletter called ‘Hyundai Robotics News.’ 

These newsletters  serve as the central hub for information and communication. 

FamilyEvents

HCE has invited the families of its employees to the Ulsan plant for the family month 

event for two consecutive years since the spin-off. Through this event, the company

second halves of each year. The results are used when making decisions on 

promotion, compensation, training and leader selection. Regular performance 

management throughout the year provides basic data for evaluation. Employees’ 

performance and capabilities are evaluated comprehensively. The persons holding 

positions of department/team head or higher are subject to the Management 

by Objectives (MBO) process and evaluated for actual achievements. HCE applies 

the MBO system to all employees. Multi-dimensional leadership diagnosis is also 

conducted once a year to produce preliminary data used to assign positions.

incorporating activities such as experiencing successful retirement, couple 

programs, and special lectures on IT & economy.  

PC-Off&FlexibleWorkhourPrograms

With the amendment to the Labor Standards Act in May 2018, the maximum 

workhours have now been reduced to 52 per week, including overtime/holiday 

work. Under the new system, HHI Group is also striving to create a flexible work 

environment that promotes work-life balance and efficient working conditions. We 

have a PC-Off system that automatically shuts down PCs of all individuals at a fixed 

time. In addition, employees are asked to plan their work and apply for overtime 

work in advance, only up to 12 hours a week. For jobs that require more than 52 

hours a week in the peak period, such as commissioning and mounting, a three-

month flexible working hours scheme is implemented. Currently, the system is 

applied to 11 cases (565 employees) since the agreement between the labor and 

the management in July 2018.

WorkplaceBullyingPreventionProgram

HHI Group plans to change various company policies (governing employment, 

disciplines and others) to preemptively respond to the scheduled revisions in July 

2019 to the Labor Standards Act to strictly ban workplace bullying. In addition, we 

will establish a process to report/investigate/handle harassment incidents in the 

workplace and run anti-bullying campaigns through various media such as in-house 

broadcasts, news, bulletin boards, and pay slips. Starting in 2019 when the revised 

law goes into effect, we will handle any harassment case in accordance with relevant 

procedures and provide preventive training every year for the establishment of a 

sound culture.

to jointly venture into overseas markets through a shared finance program, and 

provided loan interest support to 87 partners, promoting their financial stability.

VibrantCommunicationwithBusinessPartners

Entities of HHI Group visit partners to listen to their grievances and challenges, 

and devise necessary solutions. Each year, HHI, HMD and HSHI invite committee 

members from business partners to a new year’s party. At the party, important 

business updates are shared, and outstanding partners are rewarded based on 

quality management and on-time delivery. 

SupportforTrainingandHumanResources

Various training programs are provided to partners to improve the capabilities of 

their executives and employees. Ever since the shared growth training center was 

launched in 2013, training opportunities have also been offered to secondary and 

tertiary partners. In addition, professionals are sent to support certain job duties, 

such as product quality inspection experts who help enhance the partners’ quality 

management capacity. HHI utilizes the Technical Education Institute to train skilled

were recruited by 13 business partners during 2018.

technological assistance. Furthermore, HHI Group jointly develops new technology 

and applies for a patent alongside the partners, aiming to bolster their technical

One-CompanyOne-VillageCampaign

HHI and HMD have formed sisterhood relations with many rural villages, including 

Dongmyung Village in Miryang, to create mutually beneficial ties with these 

agricultural/fisheries communities. We have purchased food ingredients for the 

in-house cafeterias from our sister villages in a way to provide them with stable 

income streams, and volunteers to help them during busy seasons.

TraditionalMarketRevitalizingCampaign

HHI, Hyundai Electric and HCE have been purchasing and sharing Onnuri gift 

certificates that can only be used in local traditional markets since 2011 in an 

effort to revitalize traditional markets, which play a vital role in boosting the local 

economy. In 2018, we purchased KRW 105 million worth of Onnuri gift certificates 

and provided them to the underprivileged and social welfare facilities.

PaycheckContributionCampaign

In 2018, a total of 25,000 employees participated in the wage tail-cut contribution 

(odd amount  under KRW 1,000) campaign and raised around KRW 190 million. 

We also organize other campaigns, such as One Dollar for Love and Hope for 

Holidays, to help the less privileged in our neighborhood. The fund raised from the 

campaign were given to the Ulsan branch of Community Chest of Korea, Korea

National Council on Social Welfare, and Child Fund Korea. 

SharingwithLocalSeniorCitizensCenters

For over 20 years, HHI Group has been supporting local senior citizens centers 

to show respect for the elders and share love with neighbors. We have built 

relationships with senior citizen centers across Ulsan and conducted volunteer 

activities such as delivering rice and repairing facilities.

SupportforGrayAreasofWelfare

With the aim of promoting emergency responses and eliminating the gray areas of 

welfare, HHI launched an emergency support project for distressed families in April 

2016. In 2018, funding of KRW 36 million was used to support children in need of 

social protection from 31 households, and KRW 49 million was set aside to provide 

tuition and textbooks to child breadwinners and students from 40 households 

supported by the national basic living security system. In recognition of its continued 

effort to improve people’s daily lives, HCE was awarded a plaque of appreciation 

from the mayor of Seongnam City in November 2018. HCE plans to expand its 

volunteer activities by matching each business division with one welfare facility. 

CharityBazaarwithLove

For the 25th Charity Bazaar with Love held in November 2018, donations were 

received from employees of HHI Group, local community organizations, heads of 

external organizations, local celebrities, and Ulsan Hyundai Football Club members 

for the charity sales. A total of 12,000 pieces of donations were sold to local 

residents at bargain prices. The proceeds were used to hold the Making Kimchi with 

Love event and were awarded as scholarships for students in Ulsan.

MakingKimchiwithLove

This annual event is for making and sharing kimchi with neighbors in need. The 

event has become one of the flagship philanthropic activities of HHI Group, which 

began in 1991. In November 2018, about 250 employees and volunteers made 

kimchi from 8,000 heads of cabbage and then shared them with 30 local welfare 

facilities and 1,200 underprivileged households in the community. 

SpringPicnicwithPeoplewithDisabilities

Since 1992, HHI Group has been a proud sponsor of Roly Poly (oddugi) Party, the

Activities and Achievements by Entity

HHI

RelaySharing

HHI runs the Relay Sharing program to keep the volunteer activities and donations moving. In April 2018,  

we invited 150 workers and volunteers at community welfare centers for a musical, to express appreciation for their 

continued support and devotion for those in need in our community. A relay of donating rewards also spread among 

employees, not to mention contribution from diverse employee clubs and by individual employees, fostering the spirit of 

sharing throughout the year.

PraiseYourColleagueCampaign

Since April 2016, HHI has been running its Praise Your Colleague Campaign, under which employees give points to a 

colleague they want to praise, and the company sets aside KRW 100 to donate to society for every 1 point awarded. The 

program has been an effective tool in not only developing a positive organizational culture where members encourage each 

other but also raising a fund for year-end sharing. In 2018, a funding of KRW 25 million was raised and used to organize a 

Christmas event in December in partnership with the Ulsan Chapter of Child Fund Korea. The employees who accumulated 

the most points for 2018 became Santa Clause of the day and doled out gifts to 260 children from less privileged families.

We also organize and host various environment protection events such as one company-one stream cleaning campaign 

and clean seashore campaign to raise awareness about environmental protection among local residents.

SmokingCessationClinicFund

Since 2005 when the fund was formed, HHI has raised a fund worth of KRW 134.97 million to help the less privileged. 

Continuing on for 14 years, the Fund collected KRW 1.7 million from 17 participating employees in 2018 and donated the 

money to low-income families via the Ulsan Chapter of Korean Red Cross.

HamaeumJajangmyeonProject

In collaboration with Hanmaeum Food and Ulsan Dong-gu Social Welfare Center, HHI offers jajangmyeon (black-bean-

sauce noodles) and tangsuyuk (pork with sweet and sour sauce) to 250 citizens at local welfare centers on a monthly

At HCE, new hires have been delivering coal briquettes to seniors living alone and low-income families in the run-up 

to the cold winter season every year since 2017. Coal briquettes are purchased with the money raised from the Coin 

Donation Campaign the company holds every year to promote sharing and engagement with local communities. 

SmallConcertinSoi-myeon

HCE has been supporting Small Concerts in Soi-myeon, a small village where the company’s Eumseong Plant is located, 

striving to set an example of a good corporate citizen that grows together with the local community. 

HMD

ScholarshipSupport

Since 2006, HMD has provided annual scholarships to children from low-income families through Child Fund Korea. 

In 2018, we granted KRW 6 million in scholarships, KRW 500,000 each for 12 children from a single parent family, on a 

national basic living security system, or placed in foster care.

Independent Auditors’ Report

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of HYUNDAI HEAVY 

INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS CO., LTD. and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise 

the consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, 

the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash 

flow for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the nine-month period ended 

December 31, 2017 and notes, comprising significant accounting policies and other 

explanatory information. 

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in 

all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 

31, 2018 and 2017, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated 

cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the 9-month period ended 

December 31, 2017 in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting 

Standards (“K-IFRS”).

We conducted our audits in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing (KSAs). 

Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ 

Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section 

of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical 

requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements 

in the Republic of Korea, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in 

accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have 

obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Without qualifying our audit opinion, users of this audit report need to pay 

attention to the following matter. As described in Note 45 to the consolidated 

financial statements, the Group has restated its consolidated financial statements of 

comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and cash flows 

for the period from April 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017, based on determination 

that Hyundai Oilbank Co., Ltd. has no control over the Hyundai and Shell Base Oil 

Co., Ltd. As a result of the accounting error, the net assets of the Group decreased 

by KRW 124,059 million as of December 31, 2017 and the net income for the period 

from April 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 decreased by KRW 29,861 million.

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of 

most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for 

the year ended December 31, 2018. These matters were addressed in the context 

of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our 

opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

The management performed an impairment test for the CGU by estimating the 

recoverable amount of CGU at the end of the reporting period. As described in Note 

4(12) to the consolidated financial statements, an impairment loss is recognized for 

a CGU if the carrying amount of the CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount used for the impairment assessment at the end of 

the current year is the value–inuse. In estimating the recoverable amount, key 

assumptions such as sales, operating expenses, growth rates and discount rates are 

used. Considering significant degree of judgment in estimating the value–in-use, 

the likelihood of management bias and potential effects of the impairment on the 

consolidated financial statements, we identified the assessment of impairment on 

goodwill and intangible assets as a key audit matter.

The primary procedures we performed to address this key audit matter included the 

following:

 ̇  Assessed the qualification and independence of the external institution engaged 

by the Group for the impairment assessment

 ̇  Evaluated the key assumptions used to estimate the value-in-use which included 

the discount rates and others and the methodology of the assessment, by 

engaging our internal valuation specialist.

 ̇  Compared the financial data used for impairment assessment and mid- to  

long-term business plans confirmed by the management

 ̇  Compared the future cash flows forecasts prepared in the prior year with the 

current year’s performance to assess the Group’s ability to accurately forecast .

The procedures and practices utilized in the Republic of Korea to audit such 

consolidated financial statements may differ from those generally accepted and 

applied in other countries.

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the 

consolidated financial statements in accordance with K-IFRS, and for such internal 

control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of 

consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether 

due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible 

for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as 

applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of 

accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease

operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial 

reporting process.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 

financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to 

fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable 

assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted 

in accordance with KSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. 

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually 

or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic 

decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with KSAs, we exercise professional judgment and 

maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial 

statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures 

responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and 

appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material 

misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as 

fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or 

the override of internal control.

 ̇  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to 

design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for 

the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal 

control.

 ̇  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used in the preparation of the 

consolidated financial statements and the reasonableness of accounting estimates 

and related disclosures made by management.

 ̇  Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern 

basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material 

uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on 

the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material 

uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the 

related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures 

are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit 

evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events 

or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

 ̇  Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated 

financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated 

financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner 

that achieves fair presentation.

This report is effective as of March 19, 2019, the audit report date. Certain subsequent events 

or circumstances, which may occur between the audit report date and the time of reading 

this report, could have a material  impact on the accompanying consolidated financial state-

ments and notes thereto. Accordingly, the readers of the audit report should understand that 

the above audit report has not been updated to reflect the impact of such subsequent events 

or circumstances, if any.

Auditors’ Responsibilities

for the Audit of the

Consolidated Financial

Statements

 ̇  Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of 

the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the 

consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision 

and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit 

opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other 

matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, 

including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our 

audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have 

complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and 

communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be 

thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we 

determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 

consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the 

key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law 

or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely 

rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in 

our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be 

expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report 

is Jeon, Won-Pyo.

its ‘2019 HHI Group Integrated Report’ (“the report”) against the assurance criteria 

below to a moderate level of assurance using AA1000AS (2008), where the scope 

was a Type 2 engagement.

Our assurance engagement covered the operations and activities of Hyundai

Based on LR’s approach nothing has come to our attention that would cause us to 

believe that Hyundai Heavy Industries has not, in all material respects:

 ̇ Met the requirements above

 ̇ Disclosed accurate and reliable performance data and information as all errors or 

omissions identified during the assurance engagement were corrected

 ̇ Covered all the issues that are important to the stakeholders and readers of this 

report.

The expressed opinion is formed on the basis of a moderate level of assurance and 

at the materiality of the professional judgement of the verifier.

Note: The extent of evidence-gathering for a moderate assurance engagement is 

less than for a high assurance engagement.  Moderate assurance engagements 

focus on aggregated data rather than physically checking source data at 

sites.  Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a moderate assurance 

engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been 

obtained had a high assurance engagement been performed.

LR’s assurance engagements are carried out in accordance with our verification 

procedure. The following task, though, were undertaken as part of the evidence 

gathering process for this assurance engagement:

 ̇ Assessing HHI Holdings and its four major affiliates’ approach to stakeholder 

engagement to confirm that issues raised by stakeholders were captured correctly. 

We did this through reviewing documents and associated records.

 ̇ Reviewing HHI Holdings and its four major affiliates’ process for identifying and 

determining material issues to confirm that the right issues were included in their 

report. We did this by benchmarking reports written by HHI Holdings and its four 

major affiliates, and their peers to ensure that sector-specific issues were included 

for comparability. We also tested the filters used in determining material issues to 

evaluate whether HHI Holdings and its four major affiliates make informed business 

decisions that may create opportunities that contribute to sustainable development.

 ̇ Auditing HHI Holdings and its four major affiliates’ data management systems to 

confirm that there were no significant errors, omissions or mis-statements in the 

report. We did this by reviewing the effectiveness of data handling procedures, 

instructions and systems, including those for internal verification.  We also spoke 

with those key people responsible for compiling the data and drafting the report.

 ̇ Reviewing supporting evidence made available by HHI Holdings and its four major 

affiliates at Hyundai Heavy Industries’ head office in Ulsan City, its office in Seoul and 

Hyundai Mipo Dockyard’s head office in Ulsan City.

 ̇ Checking that the GRI Content Index allows stakeholders to access sustainability 

indicators.

Further observations and findings, made during the assurance engagement, are:

 ̇ Stakeholder inclusivity: We are not aware of any key stakeholder groups that have been 

excluded from HHI Holdings and its four major affiliates’ stakeholder engagement process.

LR’s standards, competence

and independence

LR’s Opinion

LR’s approach

 ̇ Materiality: We are not aware of any material issues concerning HHI Holdings and its four 

major affiliates’ sustainability performance that have been excluded from the report. It 

should be noted that HHI Holdings and its four major affiliates have established extensive 

criteria for determining which issue is material and that these criteria are not biased to 

the company’s management. However, HHI Holdings and its four major affiliates should 

develop and implement awareness-raising activities for material sustainability topics.

 ̇ Responsiveness: Hyundai Heavy Industries has conducted due diligence to effectively 

deal with corruption, and other affiliates have established plans to conduct due diligence 

for corruption. However, HHI Holdings and its four major affiliates should extend its due 

diligence process for other material topics to understand and assess the nature of the 

broader sustainability risk in relation to its activities and products.

 ̇ Reliability: HHI Holdings and its four major affiliates have reliable data management 

systems for the indicators in the report.

LR implements and maintains a comprehensive management system that 

meets accreditation requirements for ISO/IEC 17021 Conformity assessment – 

Requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of management systems 

that are at least as demanding as the requirements of the International Standard on 

Quality Control 1 and comply with the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants 

issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants.

LR ensures the selection of appropriately qualified individuals based on their 

qualifications, training and experience. The outcome of all verification and 

certification assessments is then internally reviewed by senior management to 

ensure that the approach applied is rigorous and transparent.

LR provides shipping classification services to Hyundai Heavy Industries. The ship 

classification and verification engagement are the only work undertaken by LR for Hyundai 

Heavy Industries and as such does not compromise our independence or impartiality.
